Battery Life

[Wrigley25]

Sparkimus - How are you using your phone? Going one whole day without a charge for me would mean not even touching the thing. Do you have any suggestions on which smart actions to use to achieve these results?

I took mine back and got a new one. I'm noticing a HUGE difference. That could play a big factor, just having a bad battery.

In addition, I have turned off 4G/LTE and am just using 3G. This I think is also playing an enormous factor.

Do you notice your phone switching from 4g to 3g a lot? I was, and I think this constant changing drained my battery. My house is near 3 towers and they are not all 4g, so it just kept changing. If your phone is doing that I'd really suggest switching on 3g for a whole day and see what happens for you. If it is still bad definitely go get a new one.

Basically I have smart actions set to disable cellular data and background sync at certain times of the day when the screen is off. I also have the phone in CDMA only mode sice LTE isn't available in my area yet. I usually get about 3 hours of screen on time per charge, but standby time is insane.

Smart Actions is really useful, just experiment with custom settings and see what works for you.
